In the legal profession, your track record isn’t simply a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of record. We present these links to our cases in order to make it easier for you to explore and discover situations similar to yours upon which we’ve worked.
But that’s not the entire picture. We genuinely relish new avenues of opportunity where we bring an unbridled enthusiasm, thirst for knowledge and – perhaps most importantly – fresh perspective to the challenge.
We plan to post here significant trial court opinions, most issued by U.S. District Court Judges, granting our motions to dismiss cases on summary judgment. Also posted are oral arguments that we have presented to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, our State Court of Appeals, or the Washington State Supreme Court. Many of these involve similar legal issues, primarily whether the actions of the officers fall within the scope of qualified immunity and whether there is a legal basis for imposing liability on the municipality. Below is a sampling of decisions that we have received for our clients, authored by various judges.
Also, under our “CASE ALERT” heading, we highlight recent decisions of importance to the law enforcement community.In the legal profession, your track record isn’t simply a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of record.
